Change is here. To what extent this change will impact your business and lifestyle, it’s too early to tell. What we do know is this crisis will sift the chaff from the wheat, so to speak, and you will see only leaner, resilient, intuitive businesses survive through this challenging time - and make it to the other side. How can you better deal with these shocks and navigate the difficulties to come? The most important tool you have is your mental resilience. With essential coaching, you can steer the challenge you face to the positive frame instead of negative, maintain motivation, manage uncomfortable feelings and keep focused on what means most to you.

At my recent panel talk with fellow university alumni, for the ‘Malaysia Career Cafe’, I was grateful to be able to share my career journey with current and soon-to-be graduates, and hope it was of some support to them. With my journey being in curves and bends more than going in a straight line, my story had surprisingly alot in common with the other panellists’ journeys.

Entrepreneurs commonly feel anxiety, loneliness and mounting stress. Needing to show a confident and energetic front to clients and staff every day, but feeling waves of uncertainty and worry in their minds. As a business leader it feels like everything falls on your shoulders. How you handle this ‘mental load’ is key to your professional and personal longevity and success. Amongst other techniques, speaking with an effective coach will guide and support your mindset to deal with and bounce back when feeling these darker emotions.

No one said building a company is easy. But it's time to be honest about how brutal it really is -- and the price so many founders secretly pay.

Female entrepreneurs share how they keep on top of everything with business life, health and well-being.

Women are leading the way in the wellness world, with no other industry of its size ($4.2 trillion) as heavily predominated by women. From wellness entrepreneurs through to practitioners. They too struggle with the same demands and stresses. It's how they handle them that makes all the difference.

Do you want to run a business that makes an impact to issues you care about? You can!
For example, the disruptors in the plant-based food alternatives space have at its heart the want to reduce the effect of meat consumption on climate change, but it is also now a multi-million dollar business attracting big funding from investors. The key to expanding a new market or disrupting the market is to know your target client market. In the case of meat alternatives, it may surprise many to know that its target client market is the meat-eater who want an alternative instead of vegans/vegetarians.
Social entrepreneurs- who are your target clients? 💚

When Helene’s friends and family doubted her business plans after a decades long corporate career, her response was just right. She did not know how to bake or run a business, but she did have the one mindset that makes all the difference - ‘I’ll pick it up’, she said.
Here is Helene’s journey from lawyer to Wholefoods.

As a girl, Helene Godin never had an Easy Bake oven. Yet she has built, from scratch, the dominant chain of gluten-free bakeries in the New York and the Northeast (By the Way Bakery), plus placed her baked goods in 47 Whole Foods Markets and counting.

When you are excited for growth and change, you will attract opportunities. Its a subtle yet powerful difference as opportunity is led by Vision, and security is driven by Fear.
I wish for everyone to be getting the opportunities they want!
🌟Happy International Women’s Day 🌟

Hong Kong has a vibrant entrepreneurial scene and its so good to see more female business leaders in the spotlight.

Organised by AWA Wise, this panel of female entrepreneurs shared truly authentic, empowering and motivating stories. One key takeaway I heard from all speakers is this:

‘YOU’ are the main challenge and main fuel of your business. Your mindset and mental energy is what drives the success. Running a business is lonely but yet so impactful on others. Keep your mindset in the right frame and centred, and you’ll already overcome your biggest challenge.

When is being Big, Hairy and Audacious just what you need?

Have you been making small changes toward improving your business or life goals and not seeing the result you want? That is because your goal is not BHAG enough! When you set truly Big Hair Audacious Goals (Collins & Porras 2014) for your future, it is a proven strategy for making large gains and bridging gaps in your business.

To make an effective BHAG, you need to create a clear vision statement that is much more LONG-reaching (think 10-30 yrs ahead), that is incredibly AMBITIOUS but not impossible, and is INSPIRED. These vision statements are powerfully motivating and is a roadmap to a competitive edge that makes customers notice you. It is the antidote to having to micro-manage staff and motivate them with external rewards.

Are you ready to tell everyone your big, hairy, audacious goal? Not yet? Why not?

You have a dream goal you want to achieve, but how can you break through your own doubts first? You have a vague feeling you can achieve something amazing, but how to make it a clear and focused goal? We'll show you how.
